Hi Willi,
Hi Marcin,

Most of these modes are only set part of the time. For instance,
the *sectionnumber mode is only sensible when it used from a macro that
is called from within the processing of the section title's typesetting
commands.

This would for instance happen if you had

   \setuphead[section][command=\Mymacro]

somewhere. This entire *sectionnumber system mode makes no sense at
an other time.

I hope that helps.

To be a bit more precise (stuff on same line is an alias):

   dvipsone      % dvi for processing by YandY's dvipsone
   dviwindo      % dvi for viewing by dviwindo
   dvips         % dvi for processing by dvips
   dviview       % dvi for viewing by dviview
   pdftex,pdf    % pdf for pdftex
   dvipdfm,dpm   % dvi for subsequent use with dvipdfm
   dvipdfmx,dpx  % dvi for subsequent use with dvipdfmx
   acrobat       % dvi for subsequent distilling with acrobat
   xetex,xtx     % xdv for XeTeX

default is normally 'dvips'


Greetings, Taco
